I wish Incubus was still like this. :(

I don't know what video you posted, because it said that it was not available, but if it was off either of the first two cds, I agree with you.

Yeah it's the music video for A Certain Shade of Green from the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album.

Make Yourself was their last good album. Crow was okay, but Light Grenades was weak sauce. I wish they'd go back to Fungus....

My second favorite song of theirs. First is "Take Me to Your Leader".

I'm glad they've grown into where they are at today... looking forward to where they go tomorrow too.

I dig new Incubus too, but they're TOTALLY different now. Totally different vibes from 2000 on.

I seriously dig your avatar.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread about vintage Incubus.

Valerus · #11 01-19-2009, 10:29 PM

Is it wrong that my favorite album is A Crow Left of the Murder? Followed closely by Make Yourself (not because of Drive, btw, don't like that song too much)

Jared Lash · #12 01-19-2009, 10:49 PM

Older Incubus was very hit or miss for me. Some of it I really dug. And some of it (like "Certain Shade of Green") just came across like a bad mashup of Infectious Grooves and FNM.

armywalaby · #13 01-19-2009, 10:52 PM

I'm all about the instrumental album they put out. It's the shizznett.

Trevorus · #14 01-19-2009, 11:00 PM

I can find stuff I like from their whole library... All these people that get all worked up about how artists change... Record yourself when you get in your first band. Then record yourself in 5 years, then in 10 years. Then compare them. Things change, and people change. As much as you may think otherwise, most musicians are less concerned with your opinion of their stuff than they are concerned with how they feel about their own stuff. If you like the old stuff, great, but if wouldn't have changed would have doomed the artist(s) to fail and fade into obscurity.

sonic assassin · #15 01-19-2009, 11:21 PM

i think they are just now recovering from the loss of dirk lance. for the most part, i found crow intolerable. light grenades as decent, but you're right, its completely different.

the whole funk-jazz-metal thing was really cool and exciting in the 90's.. you know.. in the days when korn was popular despite being the sound of a crackhead stabbing himself in the face. but nu metal died and brandon cut off his dreads and got melodic. **** happens i guess.

edit: oh yea.. and ben kenney is a hack.

ADbassman · #16 01-19-2009, 11:23 PM

I love the way Incubus has grown over the years. They still put on an incredible show.

I've always thought of their older stuff to be a sucky attempt at what FNM did. I have the "Make Yourself" album and I really like that though.

Faith No More makes me so angry. I loved that band. And yet when I tell people that, they'll say "Oh, you like FNM? You should check out this band." And without fail, that band sucks.

I don't think it's an insult to say that early Incubus was perhaps the best of the FNM wannabe bands

I like Make Yourself too. Probably my favorite of their albums. Especially since I got a used Japanese Import version at Amoeba for $10 that had "Crowded Elevator" on it. I really thought that they were starting to hit their stride but then the next album was a bit of a step backwards. After that they changed significantly due to Dirk Lance leaving.

armywalaby · #19 01-20-2009, 12:29 AM

Yeah, Dirk Lance was a slapping wanker. That was about it.
